About Me

I am married to my wonderful wife Tanweer Gilani. I have a seven year old son, Shayaan, and a six year old daughter, Daanya. I am a proud resident of ward 7 and both of my children attend Oodenawi Public School.

I was born in Sudbury, Ontario. My formative years were spent in Montreal and Ottawa. I moved to the G.T.A. in 1997 and have made it my home ever since.

I am a twenty year professional working in the Financial and Information Technology industries throughout the G.T.A. I am a staff soccer coach and volunteer at the Oakville Soccer Club coaching children ranging from the age of five to twelve.

Why am I running for Ward 7 Councillor Town of Oakville and the Region of Halton?

I was given the greatest gift and opportunity by my Father and Mother to grow up in the greatest country in the world. They guided, nurtured, and taught me the morals and values to be a good citizen, a good husband and most importantly a good father. It is now my time to serve my community to ensure those around me be given the same opportunities I was given. My community and my ward deserve the same advantages everyone in Oakville, Halton, Ontario and Canada have. My parents immigrated to Canada to give me a better life. It is now my time to help others have a better life.

I will serve my ward by representing their ideals, morals, values and thoughts at both the town and regional level. I will be available for any resident in my ward, anyone in Oakville or the region of Halton at any time to discuss any issue. I will be the conduit for my ward directly to the town and region. I will attend every town of Oakville and region of Halton meeting and session. I will fight to make ward 7 the best and most successful ward in the town of Oakville and region of Halton. I will let my morals and values guide me into becoming the best councillor for the people of ward 7 that I can be.
